Kamba African Rainforest Experiences - Kamba Journeys
Kamba African Rainforest Experiences
Explore the Congo Basin with us - the pristine rainforest, rivers and eco-system untouched, conserved and protected by Congo Conservation Company. With 3 camps through the Odzala-Kokoua National Park and Discovery journeys connecting them, experiencing this remote part of Africa is finally possible. Track the western-lowland gorilla, walk through dense forests, kayak down Africa's rivers, and step into the open baïs ... This is a place that transcends time, a place of adventure, a place - to be free.
Mboko Lodge
Set at the intersection of savanna, forest, and river, Mboko provides a front-row seat to the staggering diversity of the Congolese ecosystem.
Activities
What you can do
Explore the open grasslands on foot
The aging termite mounds are the calling card of Mboko and fleck the landscape.
Guided Forest Walks
Mboko Lodge is the home of adventure. A safari experience of unparalleled intimacy, our guided walks reveal the splendor of the Congolese Basin and its pristine rainforests. Quiet, reverent, and unhurried, they foster a deeper understanding of this precious ecosystem and the flora and fauna it shelters. Hear the sounds of the forest, smell the dewy humidity, and feel connected to something greater than yourself. Behold birds with breathtaking plumage and plants so rare they haven’t been named yet. Each walk promises something different — it is up to fickle nature to decide. But each usually ends in a delicious home-cooked meal or a delightful round of sundowners in a one-of-a-kind setting. During your time at Mboko Lodge, you will have the chance to see an incredible array of wildlife: *Forest Buffalo *Harnessed Bushbuck *Forest Elephant (elusive) *Spotted Hyena (elusive) *Bongo (rare) *Western Sitatunga *Black and White (Guereza) Colobus Monkeys *Grey-cheeked Mangabey *Putty-nosed Monkey *De Brazza's Monkey (elusive) *Chimpanzee (rare) *Slender-snouted crocodile (rare) *Dwarf crocodile (rare) *Hippo (rare) *Rich in bird life
Kayak the Lekoli River
Dip your paddle into the pristine waterways of the Congo Basin and explore the wilderness from a new angle. As you drift along, keep your eyes open (and camera poised) for cavorting monkeys, colorful birds, and elephants, buffalo, and antelope grazing on the banks. Allow the beauty and tranquility of your surroundings to soothe your soul. From the boat launch just outside Mboko Lodge, you’ll explore the gentle Lekoli River and its byways and baïs along with your guide. No experience is required; a dry bag is recommended to protect your camera and other gear.
River boat cruise
Explore the river environment from the comfort of an open-air motor skiff, cruising the winding waterways and contemplating its astounding biodiversity: elephants, water buffalo, monkeys, birds, insects, and innumerable trees and plants. Morning cruises place you at the heart of the awakening jungle; afternoon cruises are capped by the gossamer grandeur of an African sunset. River cruises depart from the boat launch located just outside of Mboko Lodge. Our skiffs are simple but comfortable and engineered to allow us to explore the Lekoli River and its tributaries, backwaters, and baïs, while minimizing our impact on the environment.
Wade through the river
Get wet and dirty by exploring the river on foot at your own pace.
